Hello folks. I thought I might as well join up since this site and forum was partly instrumental in my recent purchase of a Nikon D80, my first DSLR. I trawled the internet for weeks gathering as much info as possible before taking the plunge and the review here helped a lot. Many thanks Gordon. Having said that the wee bit in the video review concerning the D80's ability to create a "slideshow" with "music" almost turned me against the camera. I have never used the feature yet and I doubt I ever will.

I guess I'll hang around the Nikon forum mainly although I usually find something to say on virtually any subject, just ask the wife, lol. Seriously, I'll be asking lots of questions (I can sense one concerning colour modes already) and if I can be of help to anyone please feel free to ask.

I mainly shoot landscapes but I'm willing to try anything really. Travelling is close to my heart too and we're just back from a trip to Corsica (beautiful island btw).

That's enough just now. Can't think of anything else to say at the moment.

When you're from Scotland, place some hints and tips where Scotland is the most "photographic", when is the best time and what opportunities are there for people with an open eye...
Place your remarks and some sample shots in the "Travel photography"-section.

Coming right up...

...actually, not really. Kinda minced tonight. I would feel bad too, because I haven't really got much to show of Scotland as of yet. That will change though.

Just a quick word - I'm dropping using 'Gordon' to sign off my posts. I was trying to help someone out just there and realized I could easily be confused with someone who really does know something about photography.
